As matter of fact, I used a Fire Department radio I had repaired to call in a building fire that resulted in the arrest of the arsonist. There arent 12 people(except for the Almighty Hamsters) that would convict you of any wrong doing. You are then under those circumstances ALLOWED to XMIT emergency communications. You have no cell phone or CB radio but you DO notice that the victim has a Ham HT radio on the floor of his car. Well yes if you DECLARE the word "emergency" and there is IMMEDIATE THREAT TO YOUR LIFE SAFETY then yes according to Fed Law( not HAM law) you can do that.Įxample: YOu are driving down a desolate stretch of highway and find a car upside down with an occupant that is knocked out. This site is too informative to scare people away. Bashing just puts them on the defense and they stop listening. He probably doesn't really care what you think and will still continue to do what he wants. Just advise them it is wrong and they should not do it. How about lets help each other out where ever we can and if you have an issue with something don't pick apart their posts and tell them how righteous you are and terrible they are.

Once you get your license Commercial radio is so boring once you find out what you can do with HAM. Well this whole site consists of "Man did you hear what happened at.". No one may discuss what was heard unless they were involved in the incident or were together when it was heard. If we want to get into major finger pointing Federal law state that anything heard on a scanner or radio is private. And according to Part 90 during an emergency I can transmit on any frequency that I can access. Which is either a fine or surrender your equipment (which is cheaper). I can put any frequency in my radio HAM or Commercial and as long as I don't transmit the only violate I am in is the equipment mod. Well we all know some people lack that but we are not the ethics police. Well yes it is all illegal and then comes into play ethics. Is all your equipment within FCC regulations? Do you always drive 55mph in a 55mph zone? Be careful pointing fingers. People spouting off rules need to check themselves first.
Well for starters an ICOM 208 H is $300.00 and a comparable Commercial grade does not exist because of being dual band and the wide receive. Check out Icom's line of Land Mobile radios at and click on the "Land Mobile" link on the homepage.
Icom has a lot of good Part 90 radios including a new line of APCO-25 compliant (P25) digital mobiles and portables. I recommend using a commercial-grade VHF radio that's FCC type-accepted for Part 90 radio services to stay legal in terms of transmitting equipment used on those frequencies. It's simply the wrong radio for your application.

This transciever is only legal for transmitting on the HAM bands that it covers and the CAP/MARS mod is allowed for legitimate CAP/MARS use. It's simply unauthorized equipment for what you're trying to use it for. The problem with using this transceiver to transmit on those frequencies, even if licensed to transmit on those freqs, is that this transceiver is not FCC type-accepted for use in Part 90 radio services. This is a somewhat touchy subject and it comes up often. Thanks in advance for any and all advice and you may email me direct at if anybody would prefer. I an not a ham operator, just a newbiee on programming this radio for a friend of mine. These 2 questions my have been answered somewhere on here, but I have not been able to find them. Would I put in 2.005 DUP- in the offset column or use the common 5.00 offset in the DUP -? Let's say I want to program 155.745 with an input offset frequency of 153.7400. When programming VHF High frequencies, most of them are aren't the common DUP 5.0+ or - off for repeter operation. So which one would I use, or does it matter? If I look at "tone squelch" I also have 123.3 in that pull down menu as well. If I look at "tone" column, I have that 123.3 in the pull down grid. Here is an example of what I am looking at: Let's say I am using the frequency of 460.3000 with a tone of 123.3.

it appears that both columns pull down menu's using the CS-208 software have the same grids with the exact same numbers.
The problem I face is with column I would use for "tone" or "tone squelch". I know what the DCTS is and how that is worked. 1 states "tone", 1 states "tone squelch" and the other states "DCTS". I have the software and the cable to program it with. I am a newbie here to the programming of this 208H radio.
